This means that it is trying to use a hardware-accelerated decoder, and
the hardware does not support decoding that particular video.

VLC should fall back to using a software codec, and be able to decode
that video without additional codec.

As a quick test, you should try ffplay.

Vlc gives me this -

[7fa1180009c8] vdpau_avcodec generic error: decoder profile not supported: 7
libva info: VA-API version 0.39.4
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i915_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
[7fa11800cc08] vdpau_avcodec generic error: decoder profile not supported: 7

Maybe the above helps.

Dear Friends,

Please CC me as I'm not subscribed to the list. I am trying to watch a
video which unfortunately uses xvid codec. I do have libxvidcore4
installed (using stretch) but it still complains about not having the
right codec. Can anyone help ?
